running.
Never in my LIFE have I been a runner. When I was growing up, we didn't have access to treadmills until the day I joined a gym. Even then, running on the treadmill was out of the question for a few reasons:
- I already sweat a lot just walking briskly on a treadmill. I can't imagine how drenched and gross I would look and feel by running.
- My junk in the trunk would be bouncing at such a momentum that I would look like a 1940's jalopy running full tilt at a giant bump on a dirt road with the back end barely hanging on.
- My bosom (which I consider one of the few things I am happy with) would be bouncing so much that it may attract attention, or become so used to bouncing that all the ligaments would stretch out and I'd end up having my very nice bosom turning into something which hangs low and moves to and fro.
This would be the most common type of gym activity which would be the furthest out of my comfort zone, but which may bring me the physical appearance I want in the shortest span of time.
How did this seed form? My friend LG has been a dedicated runner, especially over the last year and has done admirably with her health and achieved her personal goals for physique with running.
And a girl I play World of Warcraft with posted on her Facebook wall that a year ago she was 27 lbs heavier and when I asked what she had done differently, she said she took up running on the treadmill.
So, I've begun considering the idea and not immediately dismissing it like in the past.
To document something I may or may not do, I thought I would collect some of the resources now in case I need to look back on them.
